Unit 6 Topic 3 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Name:____________________________________________ AP Calculus BC Period:______ Date:________________________________ The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1 If f is continuous on a, b , then the area function a x b , is continuous on a, b and differentiable on ( a, b ). x g ( x) = f (t )dt , for a The area function satisfies g ( x) = f ( x) ; equivalently, d x g ( x ) = f ( t ) dt = f ( x ) , which means that the area function of f is an antiderivative of f on a, b . dx a g ( x) = 1 + sin 2 t dt , find g ( x ) x Example 1 If 0 d 4 2 dx x Example 2 Evaluate tan t cot t dt d 3 x5 dx −1 Example 3 Evaluate csc t dt The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 2 If f is continuous on a, b and F is any antiderivative of f on a, b , f ( x ) dx = F ( b ) − F ( a ) b then a Example 4 Evaluate each definite integral.

Given that f ( −2 ) = 5 , find f ( 0 ) , f ( 2 ) , and f ( 6 ). ** Interpretations of Definite Integrals Example 9 If p ( t ) is the rate of growth of a rabbit population, measured in rabbits per year, and there were 100 rabbits in the year 2015 ( t = 0) , write an integral expression that represents the rabbit population in 2017. Example 10 If v ( t ) is the velocity of a particle moving along the x-axis, measured in feet per second, what does v ( t ) dt represent? Answer in correct units. 10 3 Example 11 The graph of the function f shown consists of two line segments. Let g be the function given by g ( x ) = f ( t ) dt. x 0 A. Find g ( −1) , g ( −1) , and g ( −1). B. For what values of x in the open interval ( −2, 2 ) is g increasing? C. For what values of x in the open interval ( −2, 2 ) is the graph of g concave down? D.
